Thread: Choosing a type of topology for a Lan network

Hello,all

In my college, I was asked to research for a technique for installing a LAN network for company with 46 PCs over 3 floors in the building. I do not know what topology is the better one for this condition. I feel star topology is fine, isn’t it? I don’t know, I’m not sure. I'm still a green born in networking.

Please help me!

Hi,

You likely better off, searching with Google and research there. Read all books that relate to your problem.

Hi,friends

My general solution is to have an IDF on every floor if space allows. Every floor should have its own switches in the IDF. Every IDF should then attach to the MDF with a fiber run to a core switch. The core switch would attach all the IDFs together in addition any routers or firewalls.
